Duisburg, Germany – 11 February, 2010 – mimoOn, a pioneer in LTE software implementation for programmable radio platforms, will demonstrate the 4G capabilities of its mi!TestMOBILE™, one of the world’s smallest and lowest-cost test mobiles for the rapid deployment and optimization of LTE networks, at Mobile World Congress (MWC) February 15-18, 2010 in Barcelona. The demonstration will include the R&S®CMW500 wideband radio communication tester, a product of Rohde & Schwarz, a leading supplier of test and measurement (T&M) products for the mobile industry.
mi!TestMOBILE™ is a compact handheld solution for technicians in the field. Because its underlying hardware is reconfigurable, flexible and upgradeable, the tester can accommodate changing market needs, new 3GPP releases, and service-provider requirements. The solution offers advantages for all players in the mobile ecosystem. It affords infrastructure OEMs the ability to test their base station equipment prior to deployment and it allows handset and semiconductor OEMs to benchmark their reference designs prior to general availability.
The test setup in Barcelona will demonstrate video data transfers via LTE bearers and verifies the 3GPP compliant implementation of mimoOn’s mi!TestMOBILE™, and can be seen at the mimoOn booth 2B17, during MWC 2010.
The R&S®CMW500 is a universal instrument for testing the air interface of wireless devices. The R&S®CMW500 can be used in all phases of product development and production and supports all common cellular and non-cellular wireless technologies. It is the all-in-one test platform and for RF and protocol tests.
According to Thomas Kaiser, CEO of mimoOn, “Our demo with Rohde & Schwarz shows that mimoOn’s test mobile is standard-compliant and system-verified, and that it enables operators to reduce risk when evaluating different system manufacturers’ equipment.”
